I was trying to get a shot of Rook, but she looked a bit derpy at the front, meanwhile this is what's behind her 😍

Last time I built any Lego it was when I was a kid and I don't remember there being so many different styles of blocks 😂

It's over 400 pieces and there are so many types!

Ngl, the most relaxing part of the weekend was starting trying to put the Lego Game Boy together...but when I started unpacking it I was like "I have made a terrible mistake" 😅

Started the weekend paying half my monthly salary in service charge 🫠

Ended it having a meltdown and lying under the duvet in a sobbing mess because of overwhelm. 👍

(At least I'm still off work for another week!)

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

First playthrough, yes. I didn't know who Hawke was, despite him being a bit of an incompetent dick 😅 Plus I thought Stroud would be more useful to the Wardens.

But, after I played DAO & DA2, I found it impossible to leave my female Hawke there, as she had Anders to think about.

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

I would say the only downside is when nice neighbours leave.

When I moved here in Jan 2020 I had one neighbour who played the violin. It was amazing!

Now I have a drunk guy opposite, angry, shouting father upstairs and 2am rave music weed smokers a few doors down (who are the nice ones 😂).
